• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

You LOVE your Husky, and your kids always wanted their own. The TC 85 is probably THE BEST way to get them started right. To make sure they get to the finish as they begin their racing career or keep the fun rolling out on the trails, you've gotta have a ZipTy Racing Shark Fin!

Constructed from the same bulletproof 78,000psi Zycral of the full size Shark Fin, the legendary two piece design that's hard anodized, light like titanium, and tougher than A56 steel will soon be available for 2014-2016 Husqvarna TC 85 and KTM 85SX. There's a reason why all the top factory teams accept no substitute when it comes to protection and neither should you!

Call the shop at (760) 244-7028 and order yours today! The new Shark Fin is not on the website yet so just call and have Kim set you up.

This just in from ZipTy HQ...the unit was recently race tested at Glen Helen. Here's a pic.

The first production units are in and almost ready to ship. The first 20 are actually signed by Ty so they are a functional collectors item too. I held one in my hand this week and they are some of the best looking fins yet. Highly polished yet the same durable design.

The new Shark Fins will need some support equipment to make them work right. At the very least, since the Shark Fin also acts as the caliper mount, a longer brake line will be required. The other option is to do the complete bullet proof install. This will be sold as a kit that includes the Shark Fin, big bike caliper, master cyclinder, and brake line. Kids can be hard on rear brakes and heat induced fade has been a problem, so by going this route, you can be assured your little ripper won't have to worry about that anymore.

Some of these are already spoken for so call the shop today and get yours! I will post some kit pics as soon as I get them.
 
The 85 Shark Fin system is now ready for prime time! The ZipTy Race team and some customers have been doing final product testing and I'm happy to report that all the components needed to install this awesome upgrade have been finalized. This setup will work with the stock rotor and solves two problems at once. The protection needed for competition, and elimination of the problematic rear brake fade and lock up issues that plague both the Husky and KTM 85cc bikes.

Here's the breakdown for you:

85 Shark Fin (numbered and autographed by Ty Davis) $130.00
Brembo Caliper (full size) $206.97
Brembo Master Cylinder (full size) $218.97
Galfer Custom Brake Line for the 85 Shark Fin $35.00
Brake Pads $65.00

While you're at it, add the sexy ZipTy Brembo Master Cylinder cap for $29.99
ZipTy has these upgrade caps that work on virtually all Brembo Master Cylinders in Husky Blue, KTM Orange, and Italian Red. The cap that comes stock is OK, but there's not a lot of room to get a big wrench or socket on it for on bike maintenace, so Ty designed these with a 10mm hex. Fashionable AND Functional!
